Origin of Cosmic Rays

Origin of Cosmic Rays

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered the first direct evidence for a superfluid, a bizarre, friction-free state of matter, at the core of a neutron star. Superfluids created in laboratories on Earth exhibit remarkable properties, such as the ability to climb upward and escape airtight containers. The finding has important implications for understanding nuclear interactions in matter ...

Origin of Cosmic Rays

An atternpt is made to diraw a systematic view on the origin of cosmic rays. On the basis of the composition of primary cosmic rays and the galactic radio emission. arguments are presented that the galactic cosmic rays are stored in the galactic halo of spherical shape for the mean lifetime of about 10S years. The local sources of cosmic rays consist ef the following two kinds; one is supernova...

The Origin of Cosmic Rays

In the following we describe recent progress in our understanding of the origin of cosmic rays. We propose that cosmic rays originate mainly in three sites, a) normal supernova explosions into the interstellar medium, b) supernova explosions into stellar winds, and c) hot spots of powerful radio galaxies. The proposal depends on an assumption about the scaling of the turbulent diiusive transpor...

Cosmic Rays: Studying the Origin

On the origin of galactic cosmic rays

It is shown that the relativistic jet, emitted from the center of the Galaxy during its activity, possessed power and energy spectrum of accelerated protons sufficient to explain the current cosmic rays distribution in the Galaxy. Proton acceleration takes place on the light cylinder surface formed by the rotation of a massive black hole carring into rotation the radial magnetic field and the m...
